The Rise Of Stay-At-Home Gay Dads


Another study clearly demonstrates that gay couples can be good parents.

The test in this case illustrates that gays are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to raise a child-giving up their independence and careers.

Yes, it is true. Gay families do make sacrifices for their children. In fact we do it as often, if not more so, then the average hetero parents.

I will patiently await a rebuttal form the religious right.

(New York City) More gay dads are staying at home to raise children than stay-at-home heterosexual or lesbian parents according to new analysis of the latest census returns.

The Urban Institute, a nonpartisan research organization in Washington, randomly selected the returns of 9,328 same-sex couples with children. It discovered that 26 percent of the male couples included a stay-at-home parent.

That is 1 percentage point higher than for heterosexually married couples with children and 4 percentage points higher than for female couples, said Gary Gates, a demographer who performed the analysis for the New York Times.

The study also found that being a stay-at-home gay parent comes at a cost. Same-sex couples with a stay-at-home parent are doing this even though census figures show that their median household income, $35,000, is lower than the $45,000 for a heterosexual married couple with a stay-at-home parent, the analysis shows.
